For me and my oldie hd4850 it does work exactly the same as 11.11...
- GNOME3 support still sux,
- using xv video output causes X to crash,
and where is (mentioned here on phoronix) GL_ARB_robustness extension?

So dissapointed...

Same shit for me on Fedora 16/64 on my notebook with ATI HD56750. With Gnome 3 I get same "artifacts" on screen.
It's unbelievable, i they are unable to make an affordable driverpack for linux. (I don't remember, when Gnome 3 published... maybe more than 6 months ago ?)

firefox( 10a2 ) opengl accelerated layers still broken. not sure its an ati issue honestly - but it would be nice if it worked.
chromium works with all acceleration enabled. ie fishtank with 1000 fish at 55fps.

desktop seems a little snappier. no problems with unity.

vlc video playback fine. im using the latest xvba driver and vaapi and my cpu usage playing back video is tiny. almost nothing - 24% playign back 720p files.

Uninstalling now...

You can work around the video playback issue by downgrading Xorg to the packages from fc15. Specifically, the xorg-x11-drv* and xorg-x11-server* packages. Use 'yum downgrade' to do that.

I think we'll have to wait until RHEL ships gnome-shell to see an improvement on that front. That's gotta be what - 2 or 3 years from now?

That driver just added a few more pci ids and no noticeable fixes. Even for win you can skip that driver completely as gamers are already told to use the new 12.1 preview. Just where is the 12.1 preview for Linux...?

I would really welcome such minor releases, in particular for major bugs which shouldn't take 3+ month to be fixed.
Otherwise, they could keep the current stable cycle and *additionally* release unsupported beta drivers.
I don't see what's behind this fully closed beta thing. At least a selection of beta drivers could be distributed officially.
